There are many different inherited kidney diseases. Often patients and doctors do not know the cause of an inherited kidney disease in their family. This webpage is intended to help patients identify the cause of kidney disease in their family. There are three things that are important to know about an inherited kidney disease:
It is then important to organize this information and bring it with you when you go see your doctor – preferably a doctor specializing in kidney disease (nephrologist). Usually a nephrologist will be able to diagnose the disease and give you a specific name for the disease. If he cannot, you should ask him to refer you to an academic medical center interested in inherited kidney diseases for further help.
Is it worthwhile to know the cause of an inherited kidney disease? Yes. There are several reasons that it is worthwhile:
We are interested in helping identify the cause of inherited kidney disease for families in whom the cause is not yet known. We have helped over 100 families identify the cause of kidney disease in their family. If you have an inherited kidney disease and do not know the cause, please feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We are also excited to be working with the Uromodulin Kidney Disease Foundation which provides support for families, doctors and researchers. For more information, visit: ukdcure.org

While they've already locked up a playoff spot, the Oakland Athletics suddenly find themselves on the verge of overtaking the Texas Rangers.
With the AL West title on the line, the surging Athletics try to sweep the Rangers as both clubs wrap up the regular season Wednesday.
After clinching its first postseason berth in six years during Monday's series opener, Oakland (93-68) pulled out a 3-1 victory Tuesday to move into a first-place tie with Texas (93-68).
"As long as we believe inside this clubhouse and we know we can get it done, we're going to do it. I honestly believe we're going to win tomorrow," Grant Balfour said after recording his third save in as many days. "Nothing is guaranteed, but it's about as good as. I believe we can go out and get it done."
Jonny Gomes hit his 18th homer for the A's, who were 13 games behind the Rangers on June 30 but now have a share of first place for the first time since March 29.
Winner of five in a row, Oakland is trying to become just the fifth team to win a division or pennant after trailing by at least 13 games.
"This isn't Game 7 of the World Series. It's not win or go home," Gomes said. "We're going to play loose. We're going to have fun and just continue to pass the torch. Hopefully tomorrow we get our pitching, defense and homers. That's been it for us."
The reigning two-time division champion Rangers, meanwhile, have dropped six of eight - with four of those losses coming to Oakland.
"No one said it was going to be easy," said manager Ron Washington, whose team had held sole possession of the division lead since April 9.
"We started out to play 162 games and now - tomorrow - it's 162. And we'll see what happens. We take it no different than we have been approaching it. We just haven't put our game together yet. Tomorrow we have to put it together. If we don't put it together, we still go to the playoffs."
The loser of this game enters the postseason as one of two AL wild-card teams and will have to win a one-game playoff against Baltimore or the New York Yankees in order to advance.
The A's have to be feeling good about giving the ball to rookie A.J. Griffin (7-1, 2.71 ERA), having won 10 of his last 12 outings. The right-hander yielded one run over 5 2-3 innings Friday in an 8-2 victory over Seattle, improving to 3-0 with a 2.52 ERA in seven starts by the Bay.
"That's the fun part of the business, you get to pitch in games that matter, especially this time of year," said Griffin, who has limited opponents to a .190 average at home.
Griffin was terrific in his only matchup versus Texas, giving up two hits and two walks over six scoreless innings in a 4-3 road loss June 29.
The Rangers counter with Ryan Dempster (7-3, 4.64), who has been very good recently as long as he's not facing the Los Angeles Angels. He lost to them for the second time in September on Friday and allowed a combined nine runs over nine innings in those starts, giving up 13 hits and seven walks. Not counting those games, he's won six consecutive outings while posting a 2.04 ERA.
Including his time with the Chicago Cubs, Dempster has a 2.78 ERA on the road this season - sixth-best in the majors among qualified starters.
In his only career appearance against Oakland, Dempster allowed two runs over 6 2-3 innings of the Cubs' 6-2 victory June 16, 2010.
Texas slugger Josh Hamilton has not homered in eight straight games to remain stuck on 43, one shy of Miguel Cabrera's AL lead but needing two to possibly prevent the Detroit star from winning the Triple Crown.

Simple Summer Craft
My daughter had a couple of friends over last week and they wanted to craft.
I improvised and came up with these fabric scrap pins. They were fairly simple for the girls to make and they loved designing them.
I gathered up some scrap fabrics and they cut them into strips or shapes. They then layered the fabric and stitched them together in the centre. They added a button and a safety pin was sewn on the back. We didn't have proper brooch pins so we used the safety pins.
This would be a fun way to use up ribbon or even paper scraps as well.
Happy crafting..

Memories of P.E.I. 2010
Some shots from our recent holiday to Prince Edward Island....
We just returned a couple of days ago and are already missing the beach and quiet beauty of our favorite island. We have been going for the past five years and the kids love it. So do we.
The kids created a blog this year so friends and family could follow their adventure. It was a hit! It was fun to chronicle the trip there from Toronto with stops in Montreal, the St. Lawrence River, and New Brunswick. On the way home we had a three day stopover in lovely Boston. We also stopped in Bangor, Maine, Portsmouth, NH and the Hudson Valley.
Looking forward to returning again next year.
Hope you are enjoying your summer!

About this artwork
In the WHITEOUT of a time, there emerges a need for man to comprehend his own bitter fate. Finally resigned to the inevitable beyond, he searches the ages, desperate for stories of assurance, redemption and hope. Such tales fill page upon page with enough ink to flood a thousand valleys, and drown the tallest tree. But there is one tale that as yet been told... The story of... The Kwietosh. Desolate and baron, humanities at a crossroads. The people have retreated shuttering their once carefree lives. From unseen enemies which seem to plague not only the physical form, but the innermost thought!
Driven by panic, compelled by dread, the masses begin to devolve. Once dear neighbours turn wary foes. Brother against brother, sister against sister. But in the darkest hour. Whispers begin to tell of a creature emerging from the darkness a being without a name, faceless and obscure. Part presence, part idea they say, as if the very force they describe has existed for eons a dormant seed awaiting nourishment... words of radical acts.
Now the fire is lit, smouldering in the belly of humanity. It cannot be extinguished, for the stories of The Kwietosh endure even as evidence of its presence and debated with the passing years.
Messages, Dictations, Warnings, Stories, such as These...

The Center for the Arts, University at Buffalo, will present the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble on Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the Mainstage Theatre.
The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, regarded as one of the greatest folkloric dance ensembles in the world, was established in 1951. Its aims were to collect and play authentic folk music and to preserve the folk dances and traditional costumes of Hungary and Hungarian-inhabited areas by putting them on stage before the public. The ensemble has performed in 44 countries across four continents and has won the admiration of an audience of more than 7.5 million people.
The choreography is based on authentic dances, some of which were collected form isolated villages with dance elements dating back hundreds of years. The folk music is performed by both the Folk Orchestra and the world-famous Gipsy Orchestra. The members of the Folk Orchestra play authentic, traditional instruments and perform Hungarian folk music at its highest artistic level. The famous Gipsy Orchestra plays both dance accompaniments and solo works. Their repertoire includes folk music that inspired Hungarian and international classical composers such as Liszt, Brahms, Kodály, and Bartók.

Mammoth Schools name interim superintendent
Town resident Lou Stewart replaces Boccia
The Mammoth Unified School District on Tuesday named an interim superintendent in the wake of the now-you-see-him, now-you-don't resignation of Rich Boccia.
Lou Stewart takes over the position on Monday, March 11, bringing with her three decades of experience in education.
According to school officials, Stewart has been an elementary school principal, high school co-principal, and Director of Special Education, and began her career as a special education teacher.
Most recently, she was with Glendale Unified in Southern California as an assistant superintendent. Since retiring, according to the school board, Stewart has worked as a consultant to firms in training and coaching school districts around the country.
School officials said Stewart and her husband have long owned property in Mammoth Lakes and now live in Mammoth permanently.
A search for a permanent superintendent began almost immediately after Boccia's sudden—and still mysterious—departure on Friday, March 1.
The school district did not release any details as to why Boccia left, and Boccia himself declined to return repeated telephone calls.
Unnamed sources within the schools and in the Town Offices indicated Boccia's departure had to do with "personnel conflicts" within the school, and because these were personnel issues, any information was not open to the public.
The case was eerily reminiscent of the resignation of Mammoth Town Manager Dave Wilbrecht, who also left his position in a cloud of uncertainty.
As in the schools case, the Town Council deemed the discussions leading to Wilbrecht's resignation as "personnel related" and thus not open to the public.


text: Eliza Paschall writes this article to express her feelings toward the Georgia legislature's willingness to close down the schools rather than integrate them. Paschall states that "segregation is a disease that infects all parts of a being, human or political." The time for action is now, so that equality can be achieved by all.

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
I think I need to take a cue from xNEUROSPASTA next Christmas and create my own Dalek tree.
Maybe create a TARDIS cover for my fireplace.
Speaking of Dr. Who, normally I find Christmas Day kind of depressing after about 6 pm but this year I am very much looking forward to sprawling on the couch, too full to wear pants, too tired to wash the dishes, and watching the Dr. Who Christmas episode (SPACE - Canada's answer to ScyFy - is actually running Dr. Who alllll day long, including a "best of the Christmas Episodes" installment).
Don't care much for Dr. Who? Well, check out all the nerdtastic Christmas trees that made this list. I already shared that darling Cthulu tree on twitter, so hopefully some of you blog readers who missed it will also get a kick out of it.
Less than 3 hours before the Hungarian inlaws descend on the house. I'm done everything I'd planned to have in place before they and my mother (and Brizzby, the Bouvier) arrive. Which is a nice feeling because usually I am still running around like a mad woman at this time.
I hope all of you are also done whatever you have left to do this Christmas Eve. And if you're not, I hope you're at least having some fun as you rush around. And be safe out there. Lots of accidents yesterday in the city, and like Ellen Griswold said when Clark was driving like a mad man at Christmas: "Stop it. I don't want to spend the holidays dead."
Happy Ho Ho. Will probably pop on tomorrow, but just in case I miss you, a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Got an early Christmas present from my oldest friend who knows me very well.
A smiling skull scrub brush.
Of course, it's so much fun I don't want to actually use it to clean up dirty plates.
I've been brainstorming various other cleaning tasks where I could use it but it would last longer (bathroom sink cleaner, pretty thing I look at and play with instead of actually cleaning, etc) but have yet to come up with a winning idea. His fate may be in dish-scrubbing in the end. Even if he wants to be a dentist instead.
We're in the final stretch of Christmas prep when everyone starts to go mad with stress over what they haven't gotten done, so I'm hoping all of you can find some time to just relax a bit and enjoy yourself before Christmas.
I don't know about you, but I tend to enjoy the days just before Christmas more than the actual day.
Today I'm taking my mother to go and see the live theatre production of Mary Poppins for her birthday. Perhaps I can bring back a little of that sing-a-song-and-everything-gets-done magic for us all. Wouldn't that be nice?
Or at the very least, a chalk drawing we can jump into to escape it all.
Today I'm off to frolic in the Distillery District for the last day of their Christmas Market. It's the closest thing Toronto has to a traditional market like the ones in Europe (I've been blessed with having the chance to attend one in Munich).
It will be a full-on Christmas injection: carolers, mulled wine, reindeer, Santa and probably the act of spending too much money.
The one thing it will be missing is Krampus, so I thought I'd share this video of the Krampus parade in Austria. I know we often throw around the word amazing, but in this instance it's not only fitting, but perhaps understated.
Now excuse me while I plot a way to convince Yetch to take me to Austria for next year's parade.
"Algonquin College. Exam week can be stressful on students. Inspired by the Christmas Food Court Flash Mob, Hallelujah Chorus, the Television Broadcasting students at Algonquin College wanted to showcase the new Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence by lightening the mood with the help of the Ottawa Regional Youth Choir and Darth Vader."
(thanks Cooter ;) )
No sudden movements.
There's a fairly frightening creature near my desk.
His golden Dagon adornments confirm my suspicion he's connected to Innsmouth and make me ill at ease, as do his claws and teeth.
And that stare.
He got here by way of Georgia. I don't know yet what he wants. Or if I can use his arrival to my advantage.
For now, we both wait. And watch.
See it glowing, so lovely, so welcoming? It's all a ruse to lull you into a sense of calm.
It all started a week ago.
Yetch and I brought the tree upstairs. Since I'm a light fanatic when it comes to Christmas trees (thank you Mom), I tend to have more lights than most people. In fact, I have so many lights my tree looks as though it's decorated before I hang the first ornament.
Because of this, I don't take the lights off each year. Instead, we carry it into the storage room every January, throw a large orange jack o'lantern plastic bag over top, and leave it alone.
What follows is a mundane, boring tale of how Christmas has an evil side lurking beneath it, and how it all started with a string of lights.
I am one of those people who, when pressed, will admit to being a skeptic and pessimist; that I believe, overall, the world is full of terrible beings.
While people can be wonderful in moments, I still think we encounter more negative spirits than positive ones. Or at the very least, tend to show each other our more selfish sides than sharing our giving, loving selves.
There are few things (and I mean a trickle in the stream) in this world that always reminded me that we're not all lost in this bungled existence. At the top of the list was Ludo.
I've had many dogs throughout my life, but this creature was different. He was some strange little benevolent gentleman in a furry body; my touchstone whenever I had just about given up on hoping the universe would redeem itself.
Today we took the old man for his last car ride. Before heading to our final destination, we stopped at his favourite place in the world (besides home): a leaf-lined path through the woods up north. We didn't stay long or travel far, but even in the short stroll he was able to take in his weakened state, he seemed more alive than he has the past few weeks (though still heartbreakingly ill). Or maybe more at peace than he has been.
Death is sad, yes. And losing a creature you've a bond with is devastating. But more than that, the world moves on, not knowing it's lost one of the few lights in the gloom. So today, in my own small way with this post, I wanted to make sure as many people as possible knew that one of those lights has been extinguished.
So raise a glass to the old man. Bid him a deserved farewell. Toast all things and people that bring light into our lives. And tonight I'll light a candle because my world has gotten noticeably darker.
The last traces of this year's Jack O'Lantern - the seeds - have been mistreated.
I had been saving them to make the Pumpkin Seed Brittle recipe I've been eyeing for years, resisting the urge to snack on their toasted goodness while they waited patiently in a container in my office (Yetch would have devoured them otherwise).
Today I found the time to make it. Had it heating up on the stove when I thought "oh! I should have my camera and take pictures for the website".
By the time I ran into the other room and retrieved the camera, my brittle went from light toffee to deep amber.
Yetch is still very pleased with the results.
Up early on this Sunday morning (thanks to change in the clocks and Yetch's inability to turn his alarm off). While making pumpkin pie I saved some of the filling to infuse in milk and make myself a pumpkin latte.
Halloween over? Never. It simply lurks.
Birthday cake? I'd say this rates as one of the creepiest Halloween cakes of all time. You can check out more cake coolness at Jana's Fun Cakes.
The best place to find current art and WIPs is Instagram
I'm also on Twitter but be prepared for political commentary
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

My name is Christopher Tiller, and I currently live in Orlando, Florida where I am pursuing a physics degree from the University of Central Florida. It wasn't until I started high school, that I became interested in Physics, and it was my awesome teachers who helped introduce me to physics, and help foster my interest in the subject. I became curious, desiring to know more about the universe as a whole and why it works the way it does.
Since then, I have entered college and started my physics courses, and have found that the more I learn, the more I realize I haven't even begun to understand, and my curiosity grows. I see myself constantly desiring to learn more! Continuing onward, I plan on finishing my undergraduate degree in Physics, and going on to graduate school where I intend to obtain a PhD in Astrophysics.

United States Gives Uzbekistan Medical and Border Control Aid
August 25, 2003
On August 22, the United States gave the Uzbekistan Health Ministry hepatitis B vaccines and syringes worth more than $4.6 million under the Project Hope program sponsored by USAID, the US embassy said in a statement. The US State Department's Export Control and Related Border Security Assistance program gave the country's customs and border services communications equipment worth more than $1.8 million. The State Department's program is designed to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. US relations with Uzbekistan, a former Soviet republic, have improved greatly since the country welcomed US troops in 2001 to support the military campaign in neighboring Afghanistan.Adapted from:

Juggernaut: Revenge of Sovering Review
There's a lot to say about Juggernaut: Revenge of Sovering. From the very beginning, it's a fantasy epic. This is a fantasy world we're all familiar with, full of muscular knights with overly large swords, buxom witches with revealing wardrobes, and monsters that are nothing more than sharp teeth and claws. Big, sweeping cinematic shots will introduce you to the history of this world that has been ravaged by the demon Sovering. It is up to you, the lone hero, to fight against his army and make it to the demon's home on Rudway Island, to confront and ultimately defeat him.
At the game's opening, you must choose your warrior. You can pick from a gallery of five characters that fit different play styles, focusing on the offensive or defensive and melee or magical attacks. Choose your character wisely, because this is the warrior you will develop over the next several hours. In RPG fashion, your character will grow stronger and turn into a machine of might or magic. You'll also find equipment or buy expensive items to make your character a worthy foe of Sovering.
When Raid bug spray just won't cut it.
The concept of the game is simple. You fight in various locations on the map, and each location features a series of monsters or demons. Essentially, you are fighting a very large single file line of baddies, ending with Sovering. These fights will start simple at first, but as your character grows stronger, new and complex elements will add difficulty.
Juggernaut uses turn-based combat for each fight. You and your enemy take turns batting each other around until one remains the victor. During your attack, you will notice three triangles under your opponent. The color of these triangles (red, yellow, or green) determines the line of sight of your enemy. If you attack where your foe is looking, he/she/it will simply block it and take little damage. You select from which direction you attack by either tapping on that particular triangle, or slicing your finger across the screen.
Dragonfly, Maximise.
As the game progresses, you'll gain the ability to cast magic. Magic spells are cast once you have earned enough mana, which you steal from your opponent. Mana appears as little blue specks of light, which you must capture by tapping them. Once you have enough mana, you can draw a shape on the screen and damage your enemy. Some monsters are immune to certain types of magic, so you would do well to learn many types of magic.
You can also gain rage points, which you then spend to earn various one-time bonuses in battle. Rage, like mana, must be captured by tapping on the screen. Rage appears red, and once you have enough, you can buy bonuses such as increased critical hit ratio or the ability to block the next attack.
Revenge of Sovering can become very busy. Not only must you worry about where and when to attack your opponent, but you will lose time capturing rage and mana. Also, some of your opponent's attacks will require input on the screen from you to block. In a short amount of time, you must learn to multitask at a rather high level in order to achieve success. At times, this can really add to the frantic feel of the combat, but it doesn't always feel fun. Constantly tapping for this or that can become a real chore and a frustration.
No smiling allowed, ever.
Juggernaut is a powerhouse of a game and will only run on newer devices. We played this game on an iPhone 4 and found the game to be sluggish at times. Due to the game's console-like graphics and many touchscreen inputs, you may find this game works best on the newest devices only.
There's much more to Juggernaut, but the game is something that really must be experienced. It's a hardcore game that plays more like a puzzle title than an action or RPG game. Its console-like experience should be applauded, but gamers should be aware that this won't run on any device. It's a unique game that isn't perfect, but we think some gamers might find it a rare delight.

James van Riemsdyk gave the Americans a lead 1:39 into the game. They lost it a few minutes later when one of their defenseman, Ryan McDonagh tried to clear the puck away from the front of the crease and it went off the left skate of Ryan Suter and got past Jonathan Quick.
The Blues' David Backes had a goal and assist.

When historians write a retrospective of the 20th century, Social Security--which is observing its 50th anniversary--will undoubtedly be identified as the most significant piece of domestic legislation enacted during that 100-year period. Born in adversity and tempered by crisis, Social Security--amended on numerous occasions over the years--has done more to lift and keep Americans out of poverty than any other governmental initiative.
When President Roosevelt signed the bill in 1935, millions of Americans were out of work; much of the country's industrial capacity was closed down--financial institutions were in disarray.
The new law authorized old-age insurance benefits for workers in commerce and industry to be financed by a payroll tax on workers and employers. Over the years since the program began, coverage was extended: to dependents of retired workers and survivors (1939), to farm and household workers, to the self-employed, to members of the Armed Forces (1950). Disability insurance was provided (1956) and Medicare enacted (1965).
The impact of the Social Security program is pervasive, almost every man, woman, and child in the United States is touched by it--directly or indirectly. There is hardly a family in America which does not have one or more members receiving benefits, usually an aging parent or grandparent.
Today, 50 years after its enactment, Social Security coverage is virtually universal. Ninty-five percent of all jobs are covered. Benefits are provided for:
It should be noted that entitlement to Social Security benefits is guaranteed by statutory right, and benefits are payable without regard to non-work income or resources. Coverage is not a matter of administrative discretion; it is mandatory under the law. And benefits are automatically adjusted to keep pace with inflation.
But the benefits constitute a floor of protection and cannot be expected to do the entire job of income support. Some plan of supplementation should be undertaken, such as private pensions, investments, insurance, and savings.
The Social Security program at the half-century mark is fiscally sound. But that has not always been the case. In 1981, the Reagan Administration inherited a Social Security system that faced bankruptcy. Four years later, I am happy to say, the most recent Social Security Trustees Report indicates that OASDI benefits will be paid, on time, until well into the next century even under pessimistic economic assumptions. Last January, in fact, the Old Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund paid an installment of $4.4 billion on loans from the health insurance and disability trust funds.
Just as important, the administration of the program is stronger, more responsive and more flexible than ever before. In 1986, Social Security will pay benefits to more Americans than ever--37 million--while technology and management improvements will be able to reduce the work force by more than 1,600 full-time equivalent positions. That is testimony to good management, wise planning and a concern for taxpayer dollars.
Salvation has also been enhanced by another massive accomplishment--reducing the growth of medical inflation. For the first time in years, the increase in hospital costs--and health costs in general--has fallen. One of the major contributing factors in this staunching of the inflationary tide comes as the result of the prospective payment system which we at Health and Human Services have fairly but vigorously instituted and implemented without sacrificing quality care and superior treatment.
In Social Security's next 50 years there will be new challenges. Because of scientific breakthroughs, medical miracles and changes in lifestyles, the American people are living longer. There are more--there will be even more--fourth generation families. Social Security has been built on the bedrocks of compassion, prudence, and equity. They will remain as the bulwarks of the system as tomorrow's beneficiaries enjoy the blessing that is the Social Security System.

Strawberry Rosé Spritzer
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I've traditionally been a purist when it comes to pink wine, but it occurred to me recently that if someone wanted to enjoy the illusion of drinking more rosé without actually getting tipsy, she could combine it with soda water and make a spritzer. (You can take a girl out of the 80s...) What's more, she could whizz up some of those divinely delicious strawberries from the farmers market and add a fruity burst to her spritzer. —Merrill Stubbs
Makes: one drink, with enough strawberry puree for many
Strawberry Puree
pound strawberries, rinsed and hulled
tablespoons sugar (more or less, depending on the sweetness of your berries)
- Stir together the strawberries and sugar in a bowl and let them sit for an hour or so, until nice and juicy.
- Puree the berries and sugar in a blender, and then pass the puree through a fine mesh sieve. You should have about 3/4 cup of puree.
tablespoons strawberry puree (plus more to taste)
ounces dry rosé
Soda water
- Put 4 or 5 ice cubes in an 8-ounce tumbler. Add the strawberry puree and the rosé and stir to combine.
- Top with soda water and stir gently. Serve immediately.

I'm the sort of person that likes to lose purposefully on the first attack so I can a counter-attack. I'm currently using a GHEIST/Uppers ELO-type deck for both the DTs and the ELO battles.
Currently using: Jose Star, Kazayan, Nellie, Rubie, Leviatonn, Mok, Bristone, and Dolly
My main worry: Over-pilling for an attack and then being unable to stop a counter strike. Any tips could you give me on going first?
Taxt1271 "Use zero to four pills. That way it's impossible to over pill too bad"
I've won plenty of matches because the person used 0-4 pillz on first round, only because they lacked the pillz (or abilities) to prevent a 2HKO on the 2nd round. Sure, he/she won't overpill, but may underpill
Shanks Guru
"Every game is different, try not to play your best card first turn but if you decide to bluffing can really mess with your opponent however if your worried about it id suggest always adding at least 1 pill (1-2 depending on attack manip and such) that way you dont lose to the olders but you can mess with the over pill-ers."

AT&T to Offer T-Mobile Customers Up to $450 for Carrier Switch
AT&T to Offer Credits for Customers Who Swap From T-Mobile
AT&T Inc. said it will pay T-Mobile US Inc. customers as much as $450 to switch services, an unusual move as the battle between the wireless rivals heats up.
T-Mobile has launched an assault on its larger rival under Chief Executive John Legere, who has taken aim at AT&T in television ads and in comments—sometimes profane—at public events. He also has put pressure on the company by eliminating lucrative carrier standbys such as contracts and high international roaming fees, while continuing to offer lower-cost unlimited...

am seeking further information about Elizabeth MacDonald, recorded in the notices of her 1st 3 marriages as having been born in Barbados. The notices of banns for her 1st marriage also stated that she was "assisted by her guardian M. van Kerkwyk Esq and Mrs Ravenscroft." Her 1st marriage was at Demerara now Guyana on 5 February 1810, to Robert Younghusband (widower). He died within a fortnight, and she next married Robert D Jeffers (recorded in the notices of banns as born in Monserrat), that marriage also taking place at Demerara (2nd publication of banns 25 May 1811). Jeffers died on 6 December 1815, and his widow then married John Edye (born in North Wales, notice of banns published 1 August 1817). John Edye died at Tobago on 15 August 1829, and an Elizabeth Edye lodged a return of slaves with Tobago's Registrar of Slaves on 18 January 1830.
I have also located a marriage of an Elizabeth Edye to a Thomas Fraser at Kingston Jamaica on 14 March 1840, but I am uncertain whether that was the former Elizabeth MacDonald/Younghusband/Jeffers, or somebody whose maiden name was Elizabeth Edye.
I have also located Merchant Navy records for a Robert Younghusband born at Demerara on 20 August 1810 (possibly a posthumous son of Elizabeth MacDonald's first husband?), and marriage and baptism records for a Robert Younghusband Mariner who married a Maria Lunnon in England in 1831, with whom he had 4 children the eldest of whom was named Elizabeth MacDonald Younghusband.

Once was not enough for the unpredictable Dina Lohan — she is asking for a rematch with Dr. Phil.
After creating some unforgettable YouTube moments during an interview with Dr. Phil McGraw, the mother of Lindsay Lohan wants a second chance to prove she was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol during her bizarre and much-publicized interview last week, according to the Web site TMZ.
"Dina says she was in an extremely emotional state during the interview," the site reported over the weekend.
"She says she was taken off guard by questions about Lindsay's drug habits and [ex-husband] Michael Lohan's alleged abuse."
The TV shrink reportedly paid Dina $50,000 to appear on the show, according to her ex-husband.
But during the 30-minute interview, she appeared confused and out of touch.
"You have come on here and been phony and inauthentic," an exasperated Dr. Phil says at one point.
Dina replied by flashing two middle fingers at the camera and saying, "Sorry."
Now, it seems, she is genuinely sorry after seeing the public reaction to her train-wreck interview.
With media outlets calling her the "worst mother in America," Dina contacted Dr. Phil late last week asking for a do-over, TMZ reported.

On Friday 23 May 2008, the TAC began co-ordinating an emergency response to assist people displaced by xenophobic violence. TAC raised an unprecedented amount of money and goods and services donations from the public. In the interests of transparency, we provide here a draft income and expenditure statement for activities up to 3 September 2008. Our response continues, albeit that we are winding it down. The income and expenditure sheet below excludes the donations, many of them very large, and discounts we received. The reconciliation below is draft, subject to change and unaudited. TAC's audits are usually completed in September of each year and report up to the end of our financial year-end in February.

Land use at the Eastern Rail Yards, from the existing 2005 zoning plan.
This morning, the City Planning Commission heard public testimony on proposed amendments to the zoning of the Eastern Rail Yards.
While the draft amendments don't specifically concern preservation of the High Line, they represent an important and necessary step for the Related Companies in getting City approvals for the development of the rail yards site. (The public review process is moving forward as originally planned, despite the recently-announced delay to the closing of the agreement between Related and the MTA.)
FHL's Director of Planning, Peter Mullan, along with Anna Hayes Levin of the Hudson Yards Community Advisory Committee, urged the City Planning Commission to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the entire High Line at the rail yards is preserved. Though such measures weren't part of the zoning amendments, the idea is popular with the community and local leadership.
Now the City Planning Commission will have 60 days to review the amendments and make a recommendation to the City Council. The Council will then vote on whether to approve the amendments.
There will likely be another opportunity for public input before the City Council vote-- we'll keep you posted on opportunities to speak out in favor of the High Line!

Cycling in the Netherlands is much safer and more convenient than in many other countries, because of the infrastructure - cycle paths, cycle lanes, and signposted cycle routes - and because of the small distances and flatness. All these factors plus many more additional facilities such as numerous picnic places, terraces, small ferry-connections and camping places, makes it often preferable to discover the country by bike rather than by car.
The proliferation of bicycles also means that you're seen as a significant part of the traffic mix - motorists will let you know if you don't keep to the rules and presume you are aware of other traffic. This is specially important to know in the very busy (chaotic) centres of the biggest cities. Here it can be sensible to get off your bike for a few hundred metres and/or leave the centre entirely by taking the bike onto a train, metro or randstadrail-tram).
Some things to know:
Regular signs for bicycle routes are usually white, with a red border and lettering, more recreational/touristic routes to a town or village are green lettered. In rural areas as well as in nature areas, signposts may be so called Paddenstoelen (mushrooms). These are small boxes (more or less resembling the form of a mushroom) near the ground on which the destinations are printed.
There are different ways to use a bicycle:
The best online routeplanner for cyclists can be found at a wikiplanner made by volunteers of the Dutch cyclist union "Fietsersbond" .
Bike theft is a serious problem in the Netherlands, especially around train stations, and in larger cities. If possible, use the guarded bike parking ('stalling') at train stations and in some city centres. They will cost up to €1.20 per day. In general, use 2 locks of different kinds (for example, one chain lock and one tube lock). This is because most bike thieves specialize in a particular kind of lock, or carry equipment best suited to one kind of lock. Ideally, you should lock the bike to a lamppost or similar. Bike thieves have been known to simply load unattached bikes onto a pickup truck, so they can crack open the locks at leisure.
In cities, bikes are often stolen by drug addicts, and they sell most stolen bikes too. They often simply offer them for sale to passers-by, if they think no police are watching. Buying a stolen bike is itself illegal, and police do arrest buyers. If you buy for a suspiciously low price (e.g. €10-20), or in a suspicious place (in general, on the street), the law presumes you "know or should have known" the bike was stolen. In other words, actual ignorance of the bike's origins is no excuse.
Bike thefts should be reported to the police. Please do so.
Bike shops are the best place to buy a second-hand bike legally, but prices are high. Some places where you can rent bikes will also sell their written off stock, which is usually well maintained. Most legal (and often cheap) second-hand bike sales now go through online auction sites like marktplaats.nl - the Dutch subsidiary of .
In Study 3, the differences we observe are likely a result of how the average person uses these devices. Smartphones are more likely to be used day-to-day, compared to tablets ( Rainie Zickhur, 2016 ), resulting in differing patterns of news behavior ( Horrigan Duggan, 2015 ). Tablets are also much more likely to be used at home than on mobile networks, making "the dynamics of tablet use more in line with traditional PC-based access than handheld device-based access" ( Napoli Obar, 2014 : 324). Thus, we might expect fewer distinctions between tablet and computer users than between smartphone and computer users. It is also important to note: (a) the number of tablet users is fewer than smartphone users, and (b) smartphones are much more likely to be the devices on which people with mobile-only Internet access rely ( Horrigan Duggan, 2015 ). The attentional deficits we identify for smartphones may be most critical because they apply to more people and to groups most likely to be mobile dependent.
People believe their mobile devices make life easier, going so far as to say they couldn't live without their smartphones ( Rainie Perrin, 2017 ). However, as others have argued and as our results highlight, access and exposure are distinct from attention ( Chaffee Schleuder, 1986 ). These differences between perceptions of attention and actual attention to information are why it is so important that we unpack the complicated relationship between user, device, and information characteristics. The results we present here should give the news industry pause: readers on mobile devices may spend less time on their sites and be less focussed on their content ( Molyneux, 2017 ). Our results also point to the need to go beyond user-experience testing to include social scientific outcomes. The rush to monetize mobile news delivery may exacerbate the costs of information processing on mobile devices. Building economic value into mobile news may inadvertently decrease its democratic value.

Statement Clutch soho by VIDA VIDA JiihsDiBO
Consider 10 layers with 3 potential branch points at each layer. Number of code paths: 3 10 > 59,000. How about 4 branch points per layer? 4 10 > 1,000,000. How about 3 branch and 12 layers? 3 12 > 530,000.
Even if one of your 12 layers has a single code path, 3 11 > 177,000.
Even if your 10-layer application has only an average of 3.5 code paths per layer, 3.5 10 > 275,000 1 .
To simplify the arithmetic, suppose you need only 100,000 integrated tests to cover your application. Integrated tests typically touch the file system or a network connection, meaning that they run on average at a rate of no more than 50 tests per second. Your 100,000-test integrated test suite executes in 2000 seconds or 34 minutes. That means that you execute your entire test suite only when you feel ready to check in. Some teams let their continuous build execute those tests, and hope for the best, wasting valuable time when the build fails and they need to backtrack an hour.
How long do you need to write 100,000 tests? If it takes 10 minutes to write each test—that includes thinking time, time futzing around with the test to make it pass the first time, and time maintaining your test database, test web server, test application server, and so on—then you need 2,778 six-hour human-days (or pair-days if you program in pairs). That works out to 556 five-day human-weeks (or pair-weeks).
Even if I overestimate by a factor of five, you still need two full-time integrated test writers for a one-year project and a steady enough flow of work to keep them busy six hours per day and you can't get any of it wrong, because you have no time to rewrite those tests.
No.You'll have those integrated test writers writing production code by week eight.
Since you won't write all those tests, you'll write the tests you can. You'll write the happy path tests and a few error cases. You won't check all ten fields in a form. You won't check what happens on February 29. You'll jam in a database change rather than copy and paste the 70 tests you need to check it thoroughly. You'll write around 50 tests per week, which translates to 2,500 tests in a one-year project. Not 100,000.
2.5% of the number you need to test your application thoroughly.
Even if you wrote the most important 2.5%, recognizing the nearly endless duplication in the full complement of tests, you'd cover somewhere between 10% and 80% of your code paths, and you'll have no idea whether you got closer to 10% or 80% until your customers start pounding the first release.
Do you feel lucky? Well, do you?
Jeans Belt with Chain Detail in Water Based PU Black Asos fEhZy9
So you write your 2,500 integrated tests. Perhaps you even write 5,000 of them. When your customer finds a defect, how will you fix it? Yes: with another handful of integrated tests. The more integrated tests you write, the more of a false sense of security you feel. (Remember, you just increased your code path coverage from 5% to 5.01% with those ten integrated tests.) This false sense of security helps you feel good about releasing more undertested code to your customers, which means they find more defects, which you fix with yet more integrated tests. Over time your code path coverage decreases because the complexity of your code base grows more quickly than your capacity to write enough integrated tests to cover it.The 2018 Giving in Numbers Survey is now closed!Stay tuned for the 2018 Edition.

An emotion can also be rational or irrational in two more specific senses: (1) it can be more or less accurate in the perception or understanding of the situation it involves; and (2) it can be more or less warranted in its evaluation of the situation. An example of (1) is: Smith is angry at Jones for saying something offensive, when in fact Jones said no such thing and there is no good reason to think that he did. An example of (2) is: Smith is angry at Jones for saying something offensive, but in fact what Jones said was not offensive because it was not intentional or because it was an accurate and constructive
Modal Scarf Rubino BW Fire Escape by Tony Rubino Tony Rubino E3wUPbx82
of Smith, for which Smith should not be offended or angry. In the first example the anger is irrational because it is based on a false belief about the situation; in the second it is irrational because it involves an unjust or unfair evaluation.
In yet another sense, emotions can be rational insofar as they are functional. It has become something of a
in contemporary psychology that emotions have evolved along with human beings and are therefore the product of
natural selection
. It does not follow, however, that any particular emotion was individually selected for, or that emotions still serve, the functions that may have made them valuable in the past. Anger may have been a useful stimulus of
in prehistoric times, but it can be
or generally dysfunctional in a modern urban environment. Moreover, emotions (or particular emotions) may well be byproducts of other evolved traits. Nevertheless, as a general rule, emotions do play an important role in people's personal and social lives. Indeed, insisted that reason by itself provides no Tote Bag Grace by VIDA VIDA 6Q4exFfJe
to moral behaviour; only the emotions can do that. Modern neuroscience has come to much the same conclusion.
Finally, emotions can be rational in the sense that they can be used to achieve certain basic human goals and
. Getting angry may be an important step in motivating oneself to face obstacles and overcome them. Falling in love may be an important step in developing the capacity to form and maintain
relationships. By the same token, getting angry at one's boss may be thoroughly warranted but still irrational insofar as it frustrates one's career goals. A

monk may be fully justified in being jealous of a fellow monk, but his jealousy is nevertheless irrational insofar as it is incompatible with his conception of himself as a Buddhist. In this sense, emotions provide both the substance of a good life and its ends. In a similar vein, the French Leather Accent Tag Hot Air Balloon by VIDA VIDA 09vJXHYxA
philosopher Statement Bag Peace by VIDA VIDA WqGcAk
(1905–80) argued that emotions are strategies. People use them to manipulate others and, more important, to maneuver themselves into ways of thinking and acting that suit their goals and their self-image.
Brainstorming is an essential part of critical thinking and a tool that people use to invent an idea, find a solution to a problem, or answer a question.
Like: naming a puppy, or . . .
Considering a lot of bad ideas before we get to a good one is how brainstorming works. We start by opening our minds and assuming that a lot of failures will be part of the process.
Brainstorming is simple and natural. However, when groups of people collaboratively brainstorm, we can have wildly different experiences -- from awesome idea-generating sessions to complete chaos. We have provided some tips to helps your students enhance their brainstorming skills.
You see, brainstorming is a tool that you can use to develop critical thinking. Use it to open up students' minds to other perspectives.
When brainstorming -- thinking creatively -- our brains function at maximum capacity. Pick a time when everybody is rested and in good spirits, because students will need all that energy to do advanced thinking.
Somebody needs to be in charge of writing ideas down and keeping the group focused. Choose someone who writes quickly and legibly.
Everyone should suggest ideas. There should be no pressure to make every idea a "brilliant" one. The objective of brainstorming is to produce as many ideas as possible. It is forbidden to criticize other people's ideas. Remember, just because somebody offers an idea, that doesn't mean you have to actually do it (thank goodness!).
Rabbit trails are OK, but they should always lead back to the topic.
When people focus on creating ideas, it is a very exhilarating activity. But, as mentioned before, the process works our brains at maximum capacity. Never brainstorm for more than an hour.
Make sure that everybody can see the ideas as they are written down. We prefer whiteboards. Put the ideas into different categories. For example, you could organize the answers to "why stealing is wrong" under the following headings:Practical Reason: Moral Reason: Odd Reason:
Cull the list until only a few of the best ideas remain. During brainstorming, most of your ideas are going to be useless. After the brainstorm session is over, spend time discussing which ideas might actually work the best.
There's a shit ton of misinformation about MailChimp out there, and honestly, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that ConvertKit's affiliate program is so much more lucrative. :/
(And yes, I'm a ConvertKit affiliate too, but I don't exaggerate or give you skewed advice. For some of us, MailChimp's best and for some of us, ConvertKit is. In my case, ConvertKit is my best choice for this blog and MailChimp is my best choice for side projects!)
(Specifically, my MailChimp hat – that's me, Cousin It, circa 2011.)
Before we jump into these things, I want to give credit where it's due. I thoughtI was pretty well-versed in MailChimp's features. But
I've been going through Paul Jarvis's
course and mind. blown. I feel like an idiot.
This was where the "I took 2 projectsover to another software" panic and regret really started to set in. :X
Before we get started, pin this post for other MailChimp users:
MailChimp might be set up to create separate lists, but that doesn't mean you can't keep all your subscribers in one.
Paul Jarvis talks here about how simple it is with proper list management (which is something you have to worry about with ANY tool).
By setting up tracking fields (we'll get to those in a minute), and knowing what you're doing, you can keep all contacts in one list, and use segments, automation, and groups to split it up for different campaigns.
And if for some reason, youneed more than one list or prefer setting up your systems that way, Zapier can help manage duplicates.
Honestly, it's not hard at all to manage subscribers to that you never ever pay for a duplicate subscriber in MailChimp.
The claim otherwise is stupid.
Related: Which is Better, ConvertKit or MailChimp?
Sometimes you might want to segment a campaign or automation based on where someone signed up for your list.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Tony Rizzotti and Ian Gibaut limited Southern Miss to four hits as Tulane captured the Conference USA series opener over the Golden Eagles 3-2 here Friday night at Pete Taylor Park/Hill Denson Field.
The loss dropped the Golden Eagles to 11-17 overall and 3-4 in C-USA, while the Green Wave improved to 16-16, 4-3.
Tim Lynch led the Golden Eagles by driving in both of their runs and Mason Robbins added two hits to extend his hitting streak to eight games.
The Green Wave, though, struck early for the game's first run in the opening frame. The visitors collected four singles and a walk in the top of the first, but managed just a single run on a RBI single from Brandon Boudreaux. Tulane had the opportunity to score more runs but Richard Carthon, the Green Wave's leadoff hitter, got picked off of first base and Blake Crohan was thrown out by Breck Kline at the plate to end the inning.
Lynch tied the game up in the bottom of the stanza on a RBI fielder's choice, but Tulane took the lead for good with two runs in the third on a RBI single by Sean Potkay and a sacrifice fly by Garrett Cannizaro.
A run-scoring single by Lynch in the bottom of third capped the game's scoring.
Southern Miss reliever Jay Myrick came in to limit the damage in the third with one out in the third and the bases loaded. Myrick, who fanned four and allowed just two hits over 5 2/3 innings, got Crohan to ground into a double play to get out of the jam and end Tulane's last biggest scoring threat of the contest.
Myrick came in for Jake Drehoff (1-4) who got tagged for three runs on nine hits with three walks and two strikeouts over 3 1/3 innings to suffer the loss.
Southern Miss threatened offensively once last time in the eighth. Isaac Rodriguez led of the eighth with a walk against Tulane reliever Ian Gibaut before Robbins collected an infield single.
Michael Sterling then pinch hit and tried to get out of the way of pitch that he was attempting to bunt. The ball hit the bat and stayed in play and the Green Wave was able to turn a double play and end the rally.
Tony Rizzotti (5-3) gave up two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walk s with five strikeouts to garner the victory while Gibaut allowed a hit and a walk , while fanning two to earn his seventh save.
The two teams continue the series with a 2 p.m., contest Saturday. Prior to the game, the 2003 Southern Miss team will be recognized as that squad celebrates its 10-year anniversary. That year's edition of the Golden Eagles won the C-USA regular season and tournament titles as well as hosted the school's only NCAA Baseball Regional and won a school-record 47 games.

I wanted a recipe to use up my home grown cucumbers and this was perfect. It's so quick and simple and could be adjusted in so many ways for variety. I added finely chopped red chilli and salt and pepper last night which was a good start. Will grow corriander next year to go with my home grown cues and toms.

It will be up to the Native Hawaiian community to create its own government — if it chooses to do so, federal officials said as they outlined a proposal to establish a possible government-to-government relationship.
"We're creating a pathway, but in terms of the community organizing a government or seeking to establish that relationship, that is actually up to the community," said Kristen Sarri, the U.S. Interior Department's principal deputy assistant secretary for policy management and budget.
"We've heard from many from the Native Hawaiian community that say rule like this would give their community an opportunity to thrive," she said.

At last we know the big suprise game Monolith is showing behind closed doors at E3!
Vivendi Universal Games a nnounced today the development of the latest action-packed project from the developer that created award-winning games like Aliens vs. Predator2, the No One Lives Forever franchise and Tron2.0. eveloped by Monolith Productions, F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault and Recon), is an intense first person close-quarters combat experience with rich atmosphere and an engaging storyline.
The story begins as an unidentified paramilitary force infiltrates a multi-billion dollar aerospace compound. The government responds by sending in Special Forces, but loses contact as an eerie signal interrupts radio communications. When the interference subsides moments later, the team has been literally torn apart. As part of a classified strike team created to deal with threats no one else can handle, your mission is simple: Eliminate the intruders at any cost. Determine the origin of the signal. And contain this crisis before it spirals out of control.
"We are excited about partnering with Monolith once again and especially the creative team directly involved on this project," said Michael Pole, VU Games' Executive Vice President of Worldwide Studios. "Without giving away too much, F.E.A.R . might be described as The Matrix meets The Ring and the team has set a goal to immerse the player in an intense blockbuster action movie experience - they are well on their way to delivering just that."
In a North American exclusive, F.E.A.R is debuting on the G4 Network today - the eve of the gaming industry's largest event, The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) - at 5:00pm PST / 8:00pm EST during the half-hour Pre-E3 Show.
F.E.A.R. will be available in 2005 for the PC with an expected ESRB "Mature" rating.

NEW YORK (AP) — For a fleeting moment, Shain Gandee was part of the 1 percent.
Not the economic 1 percent, of course. Not when a fundraiser was announced to help cover his funeral costs.
No, Gandee gained entry into another kind of 1 percent, the 1 percent who can claim to be famous. To be recognized, however marginally, as a media celebrity, never mind why. To be saluted for posing as some version of oneself, however distorted that version may be.
Thanks to his brief run on the MTV reality show "Buckwild" (whose first season began in January and concluded a month later), Gandee was lifted from obscurity in small-town West Virginia for a dozen episodes of prominence before his death earlier this week.
Gandee became a star doted on by the 99 percent. Or enough of that public to please MTV (which was soon back filming "Buckwild" for a second season), and surely enough to have thrilled Gandee.
"Buckwild" trades on the devil-may-care antics of a group of 20-something guys and gals with more time on their hands than good sense. The bed of a dump truck becomes their swimming hole. A backhoe propels them across broad swaths of plastic like a giant Slip 'N Slide, for a sport they call "redneck water skiing." And "muddin' it" finds them barreling off-road, helter-skelter, in any vehicle at hand.
But there was more to 21-year-old Gandee's act than reckless high jinks. With the cheek of arrested adolescence, he portrayed himself on "Buckwild" as a ladies' man, as the "Gandee candy" who can satisfy any girl's sweet tooth.
Was this who he really was, or was he playing a role? Did he realize that viewers — some of them, at least — were sneering at him and his friends as cartoonish stereotypes? ("Buckwild" has been called "The 'Jersey Shore' of Appalachia.") Did he ever suspect that MTV might be exploiting him?
Was there a grander strategy for Gandee being on the show than having fun for all the world to see? Was Gandee, who (in his words) "tossed garbage" as a sanitation worker, bucking for a Pauly D-style payday as a reality star? Was "Buckwild" meant to be his ticket out, or up?
Maybe he would be pleased to know that the First Law of Celebrity applies to him now: His fame is even greater in death than it was in life. A large measure of the 99 percent — much larger than the average 3 million viewers who watched "Buckwild" — discovered him this week, learned that his body and two others were discovered Monday in a mud pit near his Sissonville home, with Gandee at the wheel of his family's Ford Bronco.
As with most deaths, there is a temptation to draw some larger truth in Gandee's untimely demise.
There is the temptation to find a link between this preventable accident — wee-hours "muddin' it" after leaving a bar — and the show that glorified that part of Gandee to the watching world. And there's a temptation to point fingers at MTV (though the network says it wasn't filming Gandee the night of his death).
Of course, MTV isn't alone in its lucrative policy of spotlighting people for their bad or ill-advised behavior. Examples, however varied in extremity, abound. Consider Bravo's "Real Housewives" franchise, TLC's "Jon & Kate Plus 8" and current hit "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," and MTV's "Buckwild" predecessor, "Jersey Shore."
But for the moment all eyes are on "Buckwild" and its network. What will MTV do now?
"Our main concern is for the Gandee family and their friends," said the network in a predictable statement. But monetary concerns will soon take precedent again.
Can "Buckwild" be salvaged for another season? Can it even be stoked by exploiting Gandee's death before resuming its fun-and-games?
MTV says production has been suspended, and no decision on the show's future will be made for at least a couple of weeks. But in any case, this brand of programming will persist on MTV. Why not? There will always be people eager to step in front of the camera with dreams of deliverance, however delusional, to the realm of the 1 percent. People ready and willing to serve as the freaks in the network's latest freak show.
And all the better when they're putting themselves in harm's way. After all, their recklessness is no skin off the nose of the viewer watching them — nor should it be, as MTV dutifully reminds us in its "Buckwild" disclaimer, which cautions against "wild and crazy behavior that could result in serious personal injury or property damage."
No kidding! "MTV and the producers insist that no one attempt to recreate or re-enact any activity performed on this show," says the disclaimer.
Note that word: "insist." MTV is looking out for us viewers insistently. It is we who MTV is worried about.
Meanwhile, the world's Shain Gandees are expendable heroes. There's always more where they came from, people looking to be famous. And MTV (like a bunch of other networks) is happy to cash in as their enabler.
MTV knows we from the 99 percent will be watching. Enough of us, anyway, to close the deal.

Oregon bars with patios face time restrictions
By STEVEN DUBOIS
Of the Associated Press
PORTLAND — When some people want to party, others want to sleep.
Most everyone has been on both sides of that conflict, but members of the early-to-bed crowd lose nightly battles when they live next to a bar or tavern, and they've become increasingly sleep-deprived since Oregon passed a law prohibiting patrons from smoking indoors.
To soothe such complaints, members of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission are scheduled to vote Thursday on new time restrictions for bars with outdoor seating next to residential property.
In Portland, the state's most populous city, many neighborhood bars installed, expanded or spruced up their patio areas after the indoor-smoking ban took effect in January 2009. Now, even on cold, rainy evenings, there are no walls to absorb the laughter and loud voices.
"That's why you're seeing an explosion of these outdoor areas, because the customers have to have somewhere to go," said Farshad Allahdadi, director of the commission's licensing services division. "And if they're going to stand out there, they are going to want to drink."
Currently, amplified music at such bars must end by midnight, but sales and service can continue until last call at 2:30 a.m.
In the proposal before commissioners, amplified music would cease at 10 p.m., and sales and service would stop at 1 a.m. on weekends and 11 p.m. on weekdays.
Portland does not tally the complaints it receives about patio noise, but the number has soared in recent years, said Paul Van Orden, the city's noise control officer for the past 17 years. He attributes the increase to the city's growing population, not the indoor smoking ban.
Portland Mayor Charlie Hales, who is expected to testify Thursday, and other city leaders want the patios closed by 10 p.m. on all nights. Ideally, they would like more control of the issue instead of playing by the liquor commission's one-size-fits-all rules. Van Orden, for one, questions whether the OLCC will employ a strong enforcement arm to ensure that bars follow an 11 p.m. deadline.
"Portland is finally becoming a more dense city and needs to have the checks and balances in terms of some rules and regulations," Van Orden said. "So, one, you don't shut down the bars and put the nightclubs out of business but, two, you have a balance for the people who are trying to sleep."
Though the new rules would apply statewide, Allahadi said Portland is far and away the epicenter of the patio problem.
In North Portland, conflict arose last August when The Albert, a 72-unit apartment building, opened next to Maui's, a bar with a large outdoor patio that includes Ping-Pong, foosball and picnic tables.
Yelena Khokhlova, The Albert's resident manager, said she immediately started getting complaints about late-night Ping Pong and other sounds coming from a patio packed with smokers. Tenants who live near Maui's are charged a cheaper rent. One of them, a woman who declined to be interviewed, transferred to an apartment on the other side of the building because of the noise, Khokhlova said.
Maui's owner Steve Mason has taken steps to help the tenants sleep. He stops the Ping Pong at 11 p.m., when he also closes the patio section closest to the apartments. The rest of the patio is open until 2:30 a.m. As with most bars, the noise picks up when the crowd spills out at the end of the evening.
"I live in the middle of the building, kind of away from the bar, but sometimes my windows are closed and I still wake up because of people yelling at 2:30 in the morning," Khokhlova said.
Mason said he also has soundproofed the patio with rubber, Styrofoam and a new fence to dampen the noise, but there's only so much he can do.
"If you're renting an apartment right next to a bar, you're going to get some noise," he said.
